Chapter 685: Ground Lizard

Mr. Locke walked to another corral, pointed to a large blue-gray lizard sticking to the fence that was sticking out its slender forked tongue, and introduced to the students:

"This kind of large lizard that lives in the dark region is like donkeys and horses in the surface world, and can be domesticated into riding beasts."

"If you are proficient in riding, you might as well try riding a ground lizard to travel in the abyss."

"The speed and endurance of the ground lizard are better than that of a horse, and the soles of the feet with suction cups can even hang upside down from the ceiling like a spider and gallop!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the eyeballs of these large lizards are too fragile to look directly at the sun, they might have replaced the position of war horses long ago."

Mr. Locke found that the young people were eager to try, eager to try the feeling of riding a ground lizard, so he restrained his smile and issued a serious warning.

"Listen up, children! The ground lizards are not as good-tempered as the loos. They are omnivores, mainly eating mosses, lichens, mushrooms, mice and snakes. Although they usually don't actively attack humans, if You are incapable of controlling them, and if you annoy them, there is no guarantee that you will not be bitten!"

"Look at this guy's mouth full of sharp teeth, a bite is no joke!"

"If you don't have good riding skills or lack patience, you'd better give up the idea of ​​riding a ground lizard as soon as possible! I say this for your own sake!"

After listening to Mr. Locke's warning, most of the students gave up their plans to ride the underground lizard, and went back to rent the safer subterranean beast.

Their expedition plan is based on safety, and they have no idea of ​​crossing the abyss or diving into the "earth navel". It is enough to have the underground Ross beast instead.

Arnold cast a disdainful glance at the retreating people, walked to the corral, and said to Mr. Locke: "Our team rented four ground lizards."

"Of course you and Lowry are fine, so can the two little mages?" Mr. Locke was a little worried.

"Don't underestimate Angel and Ryan. They are much better than other rookies in terms of courage and riding skills. Besides, with Lowry and me guiding them, they will be able to control them proficiently after a day or two at most. Lizards," Arnold said confidently.

Mr. Locke nodded, and waved his hand to signal Big Ben to open the gate of the corral, and lead out four ground lizards.

Arnold selected one of the strongest lizards, and skillfully flew up to straddle it. With a flick of the reins, the lizard galloped away, and suddenly bounced into the air, with its four feet flat on the steep cliff.

Arnold clamped the lizard under his crotch with his legs, sat firmly on the saddle, motionless, and his waist was straight.

The students watching around saw this scene and couldn't help applauding Arnold's superb riding skills. There were also girls who shouted "so handsome", their eyes full of admiration.

"This bastard is really good at playing handsome!"

Holden cursed with a smile, then turned and walked towards the corral.

"What are you doing?" Joan asked.

"Of course I'm going to rent a lizard. Would you like to pick one for you?"

Joan noticed that the young poet's turquoise eyes seemed to be burning with fighting spirit, so he swallowed his dissuading words and nodded slightly.

"Holden, the four-headed lizard, Hyrule and I also want it." Audrey said to her younger brother.

"Holden hasn't ridden a ground lizard before, has he?" Hyrule was a little worried, "We'd better follow and watch to avoid accidents."

"Don't worry, lizards and other low-level reptiles count as one, and they are all as tame as sheep in front of Holden. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." The corners of Audrey's lips raised slightly.

Joan's heart moved slightly when he heard it, and he looked up at Holden. The young poet had already walked to the corral.

"Boy, don't rush in! It's dangerous inside!" Big Ben, a bald man, raised his hand to stop Holden, trying to prevent him from entering the corral.

Holden's footsteps swayed lightly, walking around the big body like a phantom, with his hands in his trouser pockets, whistling and walking straight into the corral.

Everyone, including Arnold, noticed Holden's abnormal behavior at this time, and all eyes immediately focused on him, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

As soon as Holden entered the corral, the ground lizards became vigilant, turned their heads to look over, and screamed, as if to warn the stranger to leave their territory, or as a prelude to attack.

Just when people were worried that Holden would be besieged by lizards, the young poet opened his mouth and let out a series of deep roars from the depths of his throat.

Joan frowned, and vaguely heard the unique rhythm of the ancient dragon language, but could not distinguish any substantive meaning. Holden's growl seemed to be just a demonstration.

Surrounded by swarms of large lizards, such provocation might seem unwise, but what happened next was far more unexpected.

The lizards in the corral trembled when they heard Holden's growl, and gathered around him one after another, bowing their heads and prostrating, appearing respectful.

Holden smiled faintly, pointed out the four strongest ground lizards, snapped his fingers, and turned to walk outside the gate of the corral.

For some reason, the four ground lizards seemed to be able to communicate with him, and they all followed him out of the corral. After the last lizard went out, it swung its nimble tail and closed the gate of the corral.

"This kid, what kind of monster turned into it? He can easily tame a lizard!"

Big Ben was shocked.

As an animal trainer hired by the company, his main job is to tame ground lizards. As a professional, he certainly knows how difficult this job is.

"Who knows!" Mr. Locke shrugged. "The boy named Holden and his sister are all students named and cared for by the higher-ups. They have a deep background. We'd better not inquire about it."

Big Ben nodded thoughtfully, and changed to a less sensitive topic.

"Recently, the mine area is not peaceful. Kobold bandits often come out to make troubles, which caused us to lose a lot of livestock. You have to remind the students to be more careful. It would be even better if you can eliminate the group of dog-head bandits along the way."

"Of course it's okay, but you have to tell me where the Kobold is hiding."

"If I knew where those despicable little villains were hiding, I would have cleaned them up long ago, so why do I need to ask you for help?" Da Ben spread his hands, his face full of depression: "This ghostly place is dark, and there are people everywhere. Potholes and tunnels are too unfriendly to us humans!"

"makes sense."

Mr. Locke sighed, and turned back to the students, reminding them to pay attention to safety, especially to beware of kobold bandits lurking nearby, so as not to be attacked by these cunning and cruel little monsters.

"Children, it's time to say goodbye, and the next adventure journey will be on your own!"

"As an employee of the company, Uncle certainly hopes that you will travel as far as possible. After all, what you gain during the expedition is directly linked to my bonus."

"But to be honest, I hope all of you can keep that principle in mind-do what you can, safety first!"

Mr. Locke took off his top hat, waved goodbye to the young people who were about to embark on the expedition, and sent his last emotional blessing.

"Brave children, may the gods be with you and protect your safe return!"
